CSS2000 is the Eighth Annual Conference of the Association for Computers
and the Social Sciences, a professional organization now in its eighth
year, dedicated to promoting research and scholarly exchange on social
science computer applications, use of technology in social science
education, and the study of social impacts and issues related to
information technology.
CSS2000 will take place entirely online, providing state-of-the-art
coverage and professional development opportunities for the entire month
from April 15 through May 15, 2000. This document is its call for papers
and participation.
CSS 2000 is organized around three tracks, one dealing with the research
uses of computing in social science, one dealing with instructional uses,
and one dealing with the study of the social impacts of computing. The
general theme is "Social Science in the New Millennium," focusing on how
information technology is transforming the social sciences.
All papers will receive peer review during the online conference itself. It
is expected that selected, revised papers will be published in print form
for each of the three tracks. Publication may take the form of special
issues of the Social Science Computer Review or book anthology format to be
arranged.
Paper proposals, workshop proposals, electronic poster session proposals,
and proposals to serve as a discussant or moderator are solicited in e-mail
format to the conference chairperson, G. David Garson, at David_Garson@
ncsu.edu. Telephone inquiry is also welcomed, at 919-515-3067. Paper
proposals are due by December 15, 1999, but earlier submissions will be
given priority. Please mark submissions "CSS 2000" in the subject line of
your e -mail. Final versions of accepted proposals will be due in
electronic format by March 31, 2000.
CSS 2000 is held in association with the Social Science Computer Review, a
peer-reviewed publication now in its 17th year. For further information on
